BACK FROM THE DEAD

'BROKEN'

With temperatures rising at the start of Spring, the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers reminded people: "It's so important to keep doors and windows closed or install flyscreens to ensure snakes and other animals can't get inside."

Along with all Australian animals, snakes are protected under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, and cannot be killed or taken from the wild.

There are more than 2,600 species of snakes around the world – and Queensland is home to 120 of them.
